      C oject: Esproval of the Department of interior
               Denver Pay/Perscnnel ysste9 (F5', 3-8c-92)

      _t is my pleasu-re to arlrcve the desirn cf the jenver Pay/Perscnnel System
 subm-itted by Kr. Larry E. Yeierc~tto's letter of Septe-er l1, 19SD, as conform-
 ing in all material respects with your statement of ,rincivlez and standards.

      -n evaluating the system design, we looked at the automatic data processing
 aspectr prLarily to determine their adequacy as to internal cor    s  audit
 trails, data integrity, and consistency with th accounting specifications.

      To maintain an approved status, any planned changes in the approved payroll
 system design should be discussed with our representatives and, if deemed
 sigmificant, sub-_; tte'dcl fcrmally for approval.

      i le ią ces not affe  _u c-r system desin approval, w- noted durinz our
 evaluation tha- certain coouter -crograms had not been ccmrle~ed and -_lans
 were under-ay to provide backup cc:.o-puter facilities.

     We sugg2est that your internal auditors periodically revdew the system
 after it has been fully imolemented to be sure it is oTeraiinZ- as _rescribed.
 They sho-uld -ay ,articula attention to the com.uter rC-. -  and ba2ek-o
 facilities.

     At some futture date, we %,-ill examine selected aspects of the system and
 advise ycu -h'nether they are fu nctioning effectively and in accordance -vth the
 anroved design.

     We ccm':end the Derartmnent for develovini a modern, automated system that
-will Lfrcve the ability of your office ..o control apyrcll and personnel opera-
ticns. We look fcrward to working with yo<ur staff d'-uLing fiscal year 1931 in
order that the designs of the Department' s remaining accounting systems may be
submitted for apcproval.

                                          Sincerely yours,
